From the Principal:
I want to begin with a shout out to our para-educators this week. Midland has 17 staff members who assist teachers, provide instruction in small groups., support individual students' needs, supervise students in the morning and at recess, and jump in where ever it's needed. Midland is so fortunate to have such hard working staff!
As we all keep our eyes on the news with illnesses in the area, please remind your students that the best way we can stay healthy is to wash hands frequently and to cover coughs and sneezes. Our custodial staff is working hard to keep Midland clean and safe. Our district is working closely with the health department. In the meantime, if your student is sick, they should stay home. We will continue school as normal, unless we are directed otherwise.We will be sure to communicate that with you.
We are at the end of the second trimester! Remember that this week we will dismiss at 11:50 on Wednesday.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dawson

Attendance Moment:
Your commitment to school attendance will send a message to your child that education is a priority for your family, going to school every day is a critical part of educational success, and that it's important to take your responsibilities seriously; including going to school.
It’s Time to Refer 3rd and 4th Grade Students for the 2020-2021 Highly Capable Student Program!
Do you have a student who…
- learns easily and quickly?
- thinks up unusual ways to solve hard problems?
- has a clever sense of humor?
- dislikes doing the same thing over and over?
- thinks logically and wants things to make sense?
- is open to new ideas?
- is persistent and wants to keep trying with difficult tasks?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, please refer your student to test for the Highly Capable Student Program. Please complete a Project Excel Program Referral packet online (https://bit.ly/2RRmKGb) by 4:00pm, March 13th. Testing materials are ordered the next day and late registrations may not be able to be accommodated.
Please be aware that students who live within the district boundaries will receive first consideration. Out-of-district students who attend Franklin Pierce schools must be granted another year’s release and will be placed in the program after all qualifying in-district students have been served.
If you have any questions, please contact Annette Burnett by phone at (253) 298-3062 or by email at aburnett@fpschools.org.
